A Parents' Guide to Time Machines

(Lunarbaboon)

You could travel into the past and see great events from history. Or you could peer into the far future, which is either a technological wonderland or a nightmarish dystopia.

But, to be practical, you're more likely to use the time machine as a free babysitter that is available whenever you need it.

There's one complication: although you'll be ready for bed at 10 PM, your child will think that it's just 7 o'clock.

With the "67" thing I think he's trying to suggest that people in the UK will talk a load of (to foreigners) incomprehensible bollocks, then conclude with "and Bob's your uncle" as if that makes everything hunky-dory. He forgets that the whole phrase is "Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt", and that "fanny" in the UK means something entirely different than it does in the US (as a kid, when I first heard the phrase, "sit on your big, fat fanny", I nearly died of shock and laughter).

As for "Texan English": shoot 'em, and when you can't shoot 'em, hang 'em, then hang 'em again and when you can't hang 'em or otherwise pretend to have a criminal justice system worthy of the name, and you've already tried to sue them for messin with Texas, claim "Houston" was the first word said on the moon, all the while not knowing that it actually refers to this place:

Note to self: don't come home from the pub at 2 in the morning and start replying to articles in Neatorama because then everybody will think that people from the UK do talk a load of incomprehensible bollocks. Apologies.
